Description

The Patriotic Wasp is a limited variant the Wasp equipped with a Patriotic Mining Laser.

Appearance

According to Yname, the Patriotic Wasp's model was accidentally deleted with other Patriotic ship models. It featured a red, white, and blue color scheme but otherwise remains largely unchanged relative to the regular Wasp.

Advantages

• Large mining laser allows for fast mining compared to the Wasp.
• Like the Wasp, it's small and fast and capable of escaping dire situations if needed.

Disadvantages

• Somewhat low ore hold.
• Somewhat low health.
• Limited class means it'll be targeted by pirates.

Strategies

• Do not mine at war at all, it's a limited ship and there is a very high probability it'll be targeted.
• Mine close to your base to ensure that if any enemies are coming, that you can dock quickly and respawn.
• Check the mini-map often, look out for any alien or pirate ships that are around.

Version History

• Had it's Large Patriotic Mining Laser swapped out for a Patriotic Mining Laser, increased the range from 6,175 to 6,500 in version .75a10.

Trivia

• When fired, the Patriotic Mining Laser pushes the Patriotic Wasp due to the Wasp being tiny.
